GENERATOR HOSTEL HITS VENICE

In the last five years, a new generation of hostels offering
luxury at low(er) prices has emerged on the hotel scene. An offshoot of Patron Capital,Generator Hostelsfirst put in an appearance in
London way back in 1995 - when the concept of low-cost cool didn’t even have a
definition.

Then the pioneer in affordable luxury, even today, its incredible handpicked quirky interiors and
close attention to art and design that emphasises the soul of each location,
has proved to be the envy of many other design hostels and low-cost boutique
hotels. With its winning recipe, the Generator team soon knew it was onto a good thing
and went to open hostels in other major European cities including Copenhagen,
Hamburg, Dublin (and now Venice). Openings are also planned for Paris and Rome
next year.

Although the design message on the Generator
website may seem a little skewed, what with flashing alerts of various hostel
events and pictures of twenty-somethings having the time of their life, the
hostels actually appeal to almost anyone with an eye for design laced with a
healthy dose of fun for good measure. Whether you’re a hipster, fashionista,
backpacker, OAP, yummy mummy, banker or flashpacker, the Generator appeal
reaches across all social classes and society’s subsections. (Via Yatzer)
